Dear all,
Garry and his Global Health Matters team at WHO/TDR kick off the new year with a conversation about new advances in technologies that are transforming public health practice. In this episode, they explore the promise and perils of artificial intelligence (AI), big data, infodemics and the importance of culturally appropriate innovations.
While speaking with Florence 2.0, an AI health worker, Garry tries to get advice on leading a healthier lifestyle. Yara Aboelwaffa, co-founder of Health 2.0 Egypt, tells us about the fastest-growing innovations in the Middle East. And Tim Mackey, co-founder of a health care big data startup, shares the realities of attracting funding for public health-focused innovations.
Guests:
- Yara Aboelwaffa, Independent digital health consultant
- Tim Mackey, Professor, University of California San Diego
Many thanks to Garry and the Global Health Matters podcast team.
